2023 Team

[Eagle 1]

Need to looking for centres like Mick o connor, Innes, matai and killer. Not happy with ordinary. Koula showed alot in attack kid needs to work on his edge defence

Agree on Koula, his defence got a bit ragged towards the end of 22, but then again so did everyone else.

 

[Eagle 1]

Yeah agree sipley 35 minutes a game has big impact on go forward, i just can't see strategy of 4 power props in 17 changing. Bully needs to look alot better and tbh needs develop in nsw cup as does Benny Turbo.

Oh yeah, forgot about Burbo, make or break year for him as well. Hope he's sized up a bit, could be real handful on the edges him being tall and all.

[Eagle 1]

Him and big olakau'atu needs to work together

In an attacking way or defensive way ?

 

[Bloke on the hill]

Yes but also needs to be changed as we have discussed running out Parker and Harper won't do anymore

I can't imagine any opposition team being concerned about playing against Harper or Parker. Hoping the coaches give the young guys an opportunity instead.

Agreed morgan a train wreck in defence and Parker get belted more often than not

On their day these players can hold their own

But to own the premiership trophy we need more dominant striking centres that have the ability to own the game against quality opposition because it is the quality opposition that we must be competitive against to qualify for the finals and win a premiership

Every season Teams endeavour to evolve and this is why clubs keep recruiting

The Moral of the story
The Benchmark towards excellence is on going
We can do better with players that just hold their own

Own your opponent and you own the Game

Ok so based off tonight's first trial (and yes I know it's early days)... the following players imo showed that they could play a decent role In 2023:

• Myers
• Johns
• fainu
• Fifita
• burbo
• Gordon

What is of real concern is our lack of depth of genuine wingers.... with Garrick wanting to play centre I'm afraid one of the "spare" centres we have may need to play wing!

I'd love to see Myers given an "early" opportunity to fight for one of the wing spots .........

Weekes and saab would make a decent wing pairing imo. I don’t think Garrick moving to centre really improves the side. I think Parker or myers would be better suited.

Vaega looks the goods. I'd like to see him get a run

Myers and Koula has to be the future centre pairing, they both have class written all over them. Not sure it’ll be this year though.

 

[manlyfan76]

**** just got real.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

It’s Vaega and Christian on the wings, Koula and Garrick in the centres

 

[Kalvin]

Time for a yart - think this might be the team to start the season barring injuries:

1. Tom
2. Garrick
3. Parker or Harper?
4. Koula
5. Weekes? Maybe vaega?
6. Schuster
7. Dce
8. Aloiai
9. Crocker
10. Keppie
11. Tuilagi
12. Haumole
13. Jake

14. Weekes/ burbo
15. Paseka
16. Bullemore
17. Fifita

Feel like weekes would be a good utility but not sold/ concerned with the guys last night on the wing (in defence - maybe vaega slightly ahead of tui)... if weekes was to take the wing spot then maybe burbo onto the bench....

Thoughts?

 

[Rocky]

Playing both Tuipulotu and Vaega would worry me. Both offer in attack but worried about their defence and their decision making.

Prefer only one of them and Garrick back to the other wing (then Koula and Parker/Harper in centres)
